Gravity Waves Online Course

Posted by michael on from the weighty-topics dept.

bgitac writes "CalTech has provided an online course on gravity waves by Kip Thorne. The course is described as "an introduction to all major aspects of gravitational waves." Prerequisites for this course are an understanding of classical mechanics. Weekly exercises and solutions as well as DVD quality videos of lectures are provided. The first couple lectures actually seem to be somewhat comprehendable!"

    I'm taking an intro GR course right now at my school. I would be totally lost if I wasn't able to ask my professor questions. This online course doesn't provide real-time interactions. They provide two e-mail addresses, but I'm not sure that would be enough for most students.

    DVD quality videos and slashdot don't mix.
